Default Opinion please!
Took the rims off my 87. Stripped all clear coat off and preceded to polish till fingers were raw. They now look like a mirror, and I am very pleased. Now what?????? Local company say they can clear coat them with clear powder coat for 100. What do you guys think I should do?

I appreciate your time---Thanks--Sean

Powder coating will last a lot longer than just the original clear coat. $100.00 to do that job is a great deal!
